Lyrics:
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
The you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude refrain
don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool
who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Na na na na na
na na na na
Hey Jude don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let get into your heart
then you can start to make it better
So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Na na na na na
na na na na yeah
Hey Jude
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you can begin to make it better
Better, better, better, better, better, oh
Na, na na na na na na
na na na na, hey Jude
Na, na na na na na na
na na na na, hey Jude
Na, na na na na na na
na na na na, hey Jude

What Goes On? Anomalies
0:06
Centre - someone picks up a tambourine. |
0:21-0:22
Strange vocal noises during singing, almost like swallowing while singing (clever!) * NEW * This has been picked up as "more tambourine rattling". True, there is more tambourine rattling just after "start", which wasn't listed. But the vocal anomaly above is during "make it". |
2:17
Right - high voice (female?) talking - sounds like "Love You" - on the words "Just You" |
2:58
The Lewisohn reference to an "undeleted expletive":
Having listened to this some more, I think I've got it (finally) right
As Paul/John sing "Remember to let her under your skin", John shouts "Got the wrong CHORD", not just "Ohhh" - the last word sticks out more than the previous 3. If you count 1-2-3-4 through this section, you get:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 1 | |
| P/J: | skin | | | | Then | You | Be | gi | in |
| J: | Got the | Wrong | Choooorr | d | | | F**king | Hell |
Steve's note: I know this table is ugly. It's the best I could do the present this part. Sorry.
Michael Patrick observes that George lets out an unchoreographed "aah" at this point, this may be the word "chord". However, just after "begin" there is some form of edit, which causes a noticeable brightening of the left channel. Maybe there is a mistake in the instrumental here too, which was hidden by the edit?. Expletive also heard as "Need some help","Ok Now","Take it out" |
3:12-3:58, Right * NEW *
Lots of shouting from Paul, all gone off microphone for quite a while before it is mixed in to the centre at full volume. "Make it better",lines about "making it, not breaking it" poke through, but all quite hard to hear. |
4:30
Non-anomaly - often being reported as "Don't f**k about Jude". This is really "Don't make it bad Jude"
| 5:37
Similarly, this is not "What the f**k Jude" or "Hey look at that you idiot!" but "The pain won't come back Jude"
| * NEW *
The full text of Paul's amazing shoutings from where it comes in clearly at 3:58 is approximately :-
"Jude Judy Judy Judy Judy Judy.. ow, wahow!"
"Ow hoo, my my my"
"Jude Jude Jude Jude Joooo ..."
"Na na na na na, yeh yeh yeh"
"Yeah you know you can make it, yeah Jude, you not gotta break it"
"Don't make it bad Jude"
"Take a sad song and make it better"
"Oh Jude, Jude, Hey Jude, woooow"
"Ooo, Joooode"
"Yeah"
"Hey, hey, hey-yay"
"Hey, hey, hey"
"Now Jude Jude Jude Jude Jude Jude, yeah yeah yeah yeah"
"Woh yeah yeah"
"Ah nanananananana cause I wanna "
"Nanananana ... nanalalal ow ow ow"
"Oh God"
"The pain won't come back Jude"
"Yeah, eh hehe heh"
"Make it through"
"Yeyeye Yeah .. yeah y-yeah ... yeah-hahahaha ...."
"Goodeveningladiesandgentlemen mymymymy mahhhh"
"oooo"
"Woooh"
"Well then a na-nanan"
